I collaborate closely with participants during
the PCP process to ensure that their goals,
preferences, and needs are at the forefront
of their support plan.

Program can be complex. I assist participants
every step of the way, providing guidance and
support to make the transition as smooth

can be daunting. I help participants identify

supports that align with their goals and needs.
